Yup, terriffic backs... first of all i'm not doubting that garret wolfe is a good back and im not saying he wont be drafted. And three backs in the NFL from NIU that no one outside of NIU has ever heard of, I don't consider a track record. Even Miami (OH), BG, and Akron had people i've heard of...

Do you watch the NFL? Colts fans know damn well who Michael Turner is.

Was this good enough competition for you? Or is he no good because he went to NIU also?

To OSU and Michigan fans it might be. To the rest of the world, it is not!

Uh, yes it is. The only rivalries that I would put on the same level are Boston vs. New York and Duke vs. North Carolina but the difference is they play eachother more than once while the OSU-UM game is only once a year which makes it that much more meaningful. It's the best rivalry in sports.

Like which running backs from those three teams can you name in the NFL? Without looking them up please! You just want to try and discredit us. You never heard of that huge Michael Turner TD run the San Diego Chargers had against the Indianopolis Colts?!?! Please, stop being so arrogant!

Miami (OH) was the 5th or 6th best team in the MAC and it put up 14 points against OSU's defense. NIU was the 2nd best team in the MAC and OSU won't have the same defense. NIU scores at least 14!

Miami scored their 14 points against our bench and cheer leaders, after we were up 34-0 (one of those TDs came after we fumbled their kickoff).

For the last decade NIU has pumped out 4 great backs. Turner and Leshon Johnson played/ are playing in the NFL and Thomas Hammock would have if it wasn't for a heart condition.Garrett Wolfe is the next in line.

Here's a REAL track record for you. For however long Wolfe may be blessed to be in the NFL, nearly every team he faces will feature a former Buckeye defender, a Buckeye defender that is on the team he will face this September, and if he's lucky to hang around the League long enough, Buckeye defenders who have not even set foot on campus yet. THAT is a track record.

It's called MAC play! The MACC game features supposedly the best two teams in the MAC, and since NIU lost we would be #2. Miami (OH) lost to NIU, lost to BG which had the same MAC record as them, lost to Central Michigan which had the same MAC record as them as well (which NIU beat as well). Toledo was 6-2. Therefore, Miami (OH) was around the 5th or 6th best team in the MAC.



EDIT: Let's try and stay civil with the football discussion.

Hehehe... easy there, little fella.

The "supposedly two best" And I suppose you think a 7-5 Colorado was the second best team in the Big XII last year behind Texas?

Why are you guys so hell bent on changing my comments up?

Ohio State has a better history, a better track record, better players, and a better team then NIU.

You guys act like we suck and have no history, which is false.

Show me at any point and time where I say anything negative about Ohio State besides you lost 9 defensive players. I haven't.
